Fallen--- face down in the dirt, your pale lips kissed the earth a marker will hold your place though the world may forget your face For you it's over... Remember when she said come back--- and then we'll Wed as the nightbirds begin to sing she holds your wedding ring with trembling hands... As your flame begins to dim soon you'll reach the end when your spark of life has fled you'll be counted among the dead For you it's over... Family trees were meant blossom now your spot is but a token as your lines forever broken For you it's over now... Your eyes will never see the pain--- the misery as darkness--- invades the minds of those you've left behind... For them--- it's just begun...

Thank you very much and yes it is written from personal experience. but in an effort to make it all inclusive I changed some minor details like "face down in the dirt would have been face down on the deck." and "your pale lips kissed the earth would have been your pale lips kissed lifeless steel." or something to that affect... this was written about an accident on the U.S.S. Nimitz which killed 14 and critically injured 45.

Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. This is sad, tender and emotional- all at the same time. I agree, when it's over for you, it has just begun for them. I wish to save this in my favorites. Sometimes, the heart needs to hold such moments. ~ Brandy
